""Caused an image attack": Yamina criticizes Naftali Bennett's advisor

April 24, 2022   

Tensions in the Bennett office: Yamina officials are attacking political advisor Shmarit Meir this evening (Sunday) for intervening in the spending crisis of the Bennett family home in Ra'anana, and for being responsible for publishing internal data from the Prime Minister's Office on Bennett and Netanyahu's spending.

According to Michael Shemesh's report in Kan News, the same sources claim that the advisor caused an "image attack" on Bennett.

After the allegations made by the Likud party regarding the publication of a comparison between the Netanyahu family's expenses during his tenure as prime minister and the Bennett family's expenses, the prime minister lost his temper and lashed out on his Facebook page: "I am not Bibi, Gilat is not Sara, my children are not Yair.".

The Likud responded to Bennett's explanation about his family's expenses at his residence in Ra'anana: "When his government collapses - Bennett goes off the rails and attacks the wife and children of former Prime Minister Netanyahu with lies and slander. "As prime minister, even when he was subjected to a cruel campaign of persecution and slander against him and his family for over 20 years, Netanyahu did not issue such a response that incited against his children or the wife of a political opponent." They further attacked the Likud: "Bennett has sunk to the lowest ebb. He lost his temper because of one investigation by a journalist who did her job faithfully and criticized the government. Apparently he has only gotten used to flattering media. No false and whiny post will explain why Bennett decided to spend 50 million shekels from the pockets of Israeli citizens on renovating his private home in Ra'anana - without permission and against the law. "Yoel Bennett will open his home to the public so that everyone can see the extent of the renovations, the carpentry work, the new basement, the parquet floors, the screens, and more - something the Netanyahu family has never done in their private home.".
